A true a substance that can be decomposed by bacterial
B because it’s talking about the tree itself. Saying that it’s plants would divert it to a different plant. The cells of the wood is what makes the tree and is relevant to the question
The cell is the smallest functional unit of life, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the building block of life.

Primary Consumer (Squirrels)
Secondary Consumer (Raccoons)
Tertiary Consumer (Bear)

Hope his help :)
